'Everywhen consists of twelve essays and an introduction by the book’s three editors, a Ngarigu linguist and two non-Indigenous historians of colonialism. The book’s title comes from an influential 1956 essay by W.E.H. Stanner on Indigenous views of time, and the essays originated from a 2018 symposium at the ANU on ‘Understanding the Deep Past across Languages and Culture’. The book aims, as the editors write, ‘to explore how Indigenous temporalities can offer alternative perspectives toward understanding the concept of time, a factor so central to the historian’s craft yet so often taken for granted’ (2).'
